Try 2 hold 8 seconds on power button, if this phone will reboot - it's software problem. Just flash a new firmware LT6 for ur phone.
If it does not work, try 2 disassemble ur phone, and watch area nearly power button. If it's damaged go 2 service.
My opinion plastic nearly power button area is damaged, or this is firmware trouble in UI.

Nothing happend after 8 sec's

My phone will not completely shut off!

When I shut down my phone, the screen will go black and it will vibrate like normal. Last I checked the vibrate was to confirm that it was completely shut off. Instead, the four touch sensitive buttons will light up and stay lit until I turn the phone back on or, of course, pull the battery. This is also keeping me from entering download mode. A few days ago the phone was shutting down correctly and I have been able to enter download mode, but now the problem is going on again. I'm on official 2.2 Froyo updated through kies mini. My phone is rooted, but this problem occurred before I rooted.

Sounds like a warranty replacement.
I've had it for over a year. I wonder why it's just now doing this.

I think I have come to a conclusion on why it doesn't seem to shut down completely and would need someone with a captivate that has all fully functional buttons. I believe that since my power button sticks, when the phone vibrates to confirm a shutdown, the capacitive touch button lights will not shut off until the power button is released. So if someone wouldn't mind shutting their phone off while holding the power button and tell me if you can make the lights come on after the vibrate while holding power button? Thanks in advance.

P1010 Bricked....?

Hello everyone!
I have a serious problem with my Wi-Fi Only Galaxy Tab. It came with Froyo out of the box and I tried installing GB via ODIN but in the middle of the process, my computer turned off because of a blackout and my tablet was in download mode with the big "DO NOT TURN OFF" warning. The process wouldn't resume after I got my computer back on and I had to turn off the Tab. The problem is that now it won't turn on, when I press the power button (long enough, about 10 seconds) the LCD turns on in black and if I let go of the power button it goes back off. Tried connecting to the PC but nothing happens, tried charging for more than 4 hours and still got nothing.
HELP PLEASE!

So to get this straight... you cant go into downloading mode or recovery? Even if it doesnt display it on the tab... try holding power and volume down while odin is open (reinstall the drivers too) If that doesnt work then I believe you sir have a hard brick and have messed up your bootloader. If that's the case i just saw a post about a service that fixes them for 50$ somewhere on the gt7 forums...
Just go to download mode again and reflash. Don't forget about battery.

[Q] Shorted out/ faulty buttons?

Hello and thank you for your responses in advance.
I am having a very strange issue with my galaxy mini:
During normal usage ( specifically using whatsapp) and a quick burst of the back button my phone started taking screenshots with every button press and also when settled on a table would either flash the menu function ( like the menu button was pressed ) or bring up a google search ( screen was off it turned on and flashed a menu or opened google search ) . The display would not turn on using the home button and also when turned off and then turned back on it would go into recovery mode( like home+ power was pressed) where the home button was unresponsive for selection (reboot/ wipe/ etc) . This was not consistent, sometimes the phone would boo,t work normally for a few minutes then start taking screenshots when fiddled with and also in recovery mode sometimes the home button would work for the menu selection but sometimes the menu key would work for the selection (rarely) . I tried restoring to factory settings, wiping data cache, flashing CM7 , flashing stock, rooting, unrooting, pulling the battery out, i even intentionally soft bricked it ( bad cm7 flash ) just to see if it makes any difference . Nada, phone would either boot normally and start taking screenshots, flashing the " you just pressed the menu button" selection rapidly or simply opening google search when set on a table OR it would boot into recovery where i couldn't select anything and i had to remove the battery and plug it back in several times for me to be able to select reboot now. Phone was a stock 2.3.4 orange Romania rooted for me to be able to read the network unlock code from inside the binaries, no custom rom was flashed prior to this. I was thinking that me using the phone as an mp3 player at the gym (keeping it in my gym shorts) would of enabled sweat to seep through the keypad go under the buttons and short them out over time ? My last trip to the gym was weeks ago so that's strange.
It would be easier to read if you put some space between the line

The cell has menu/home/back and volume up down and the power button. The behavior is present all the time not just when it is conected via usb . As far as i know the home key should be enter in the recovery menu, i've tried all 3 keys but they don't work. But, it's not about the recovery menu, it's the fact that after it boots it's unusable as it starts taking screenshots on any button press and when i set it down it lights up and starts showing the menu like the menu key was pressed

It was already sent to a service center, the warranty is shady on the handset so i don't think i can claim it. The estimate came today, it's a faulty motherboard. The phone will be taken out back and shot in the back of the head to end its misery
Does anybody know if a replacement motherboard comes with any bootloader or software and how can I flash firmware once it is installed?

only when on - power button doesnt work

Hello gents
My power button doesn't work when my device is on.
I know its not a physical problem because when I pull out the battery then put it back in and hold the power button, the device turns on.
It only doesn't work when the device is on.
Tried holding it down for a while but nothing.
My device is not rooted.
I am on 4.0.4
thanks
i had the similar problem first my power button stopped working sometimes, then my phone started to restart automatically sometimes , then frequently, then daily and finally i got a free replacement of motherboard
same here
phone restarts by itself too
And also my internal clock was not functioning properly

I had this issue and sent back to Sony under warranty, had notice to say should be back in 24-72 hrs.
If you don't have option to send to Sony try phone store and get them to remove battery and flash stock again....or if feeling brave do your self

Glad you got it sorted.
How did you turn off as your original post said you couldn't, just in case it happens again to me when flashing mods.

i hold on the power button (sleep/wake button) and the off button at the back. i hold them at the same time. after feeling 3 vibrations, release the power button. the device should turn off now. when you feel one vibration. it doesn't turn off the phone. the phone will just boot up again.
isnt there a soft reset button on the back of the phone (you know the button you use a pen to press it).

Hi, I have the same issue and I try this solution but it didn't work for me.
Because I want to try the trinity vengeance rom and I'm scared that if I have a bootloop, I can't turn off my phone.
Sorry for my english ^^

Hi, your problem is solved?
Edit: I found the solution in the other topic in Q/A.
I hold the power button with volume up and the off button at the back.
I wait 3 vibrations and the phone turn off. Thanks to xda community

Thanks to your guides I have found out a full solution for this. I'm come from Trinity...'s rom and have bootloop too.
1. Keep the device connected with PC by USB cable
3. Open and prepare a firmware in Flashtool
4. Flashtool notifies to have your phone connected in flashmode --> It's time to go
5. Press and hold combination of Volume Down + Power + Reset
6. After 3 times vibrating with GREEN Led blinking, have your fingers relaxed and your SP's been in flash mode then :good:
7. Bear in mind that you should be careful for the next time playing with Rom and mods! :laugh:
